the wonderful world of playing with colored pencils and stamps...

winnie's thinking of you...

Happy Sunday friends!

Are you all ready for a ~NEW~ image from Stamping Bella's upcoming release this week! I really hope you are all saying yes, because even though Emily is showing full peeks at her latest rubber, us Babes are bringing them to life.

So today I am showing you a PER-fect card for any girl on your list...and PER-fect for summer too. Here is 'Winnie in the window' one of the latest UPTOWN Girls available soon. {yeah!!!} I colored Winnie without a thought for which paper she was going to sit on. Hmmmm, not the best idea because then it always takes me a bit longer to get the card making process going. I have a hefty stack of 6x6 paper packs on my desk, so I got to work...did I want to bring out the softer colors or the bolder blooms in the window box. As you can see I decided the paler paper won and it really makes those flowers POP. Have I ever told you just how happy UPTOWN Girls make me? lol...now I wanna paper piece the curtains for another version.

So, what's going on here...I am addicted to adding the sentiments over the UPTOWN Girl images, I know I have mentioned that before. They are a 'roomy' image so you don't loose any details and I think it looks really crisp. I don't know if I have ever used any Distress inks on the edges of my UPTOWN Girls...maybe only a few? To give the card some subtle sparke I added glitter in the green leafy areas and kinda trailing up the side.

Speaking of sewing, my new Singer sewing machine arrived on friday and today was her first trial run. Technology has come a long way since my Kenmore and these eyes were trying to take all the instructions and new presser foot. I will have to get used to this presser foot and the computer feel of this machine. But it sure is pretty and it's sitting by my feet...ready for another go!

Now, don't forget that this weeks challenge has gone 'manly' and we gotta show those guys some lovin'. {and they had better appreciate it!! haha} So when you finish your MASCULINE card, just email it to Emily by Thursday eve and you will be included on her BellaRIFFIC Friday post. :)

This is SO cute! I love the sweet face looking out the window and that fabulous flower box! Love the way you put the sentiments on too...I always have a hard time figuring out where to put it when I am done.
